The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the vector \(\vec{A}\) and the resultant of the vectors \((\vec{A} + \vec{B})\) and \((\vec{A} - \vec{B})\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Resultant Vector We need to calculate the resultant vector \(\vec{R}\) which is given by: \[ \vec{R} = (\vec{A} + \vec{B}) + (\vec{A} - \vec{B}) \] ### Step 2: Simplify the Resultant Vector Now, simplify the expression for \(\vec{R}\): \[ \vec{R} = \vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{A} - \vec{B} \] The \(\vec{B}\) terms cancel out: \[ \vec{R} = 2\vec{A} \] ### Step 3: Determine the Angle Between \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{R}\) Now, we need to find the angle \(\theta\) between \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{R}\): \[ \vec{R} = 2\vec{A} \] Since \(\vec{R}\) is simply \(\vec{A}\) scaled by a factor of 2, both vectors point in the same direction. ### Step 4: Conclusion on the Angle The angle \(\theta\) between two vectors that point in the same direction is: \[ \theta = 0^\circ \] Thus, the angle between \(\vec{A}\) and the resultant of \((\vec{A} + \vec{B})\) and \((\vec{A} - \vec{B})\) is \(0^\circ\). ### Final Answer The angle is \(0^\circ\). ---
